Big Data-Driven Manufacturing—Process-Monitoring-for-Quality Philosophy

Abstract

Discussion of big data (BD) has been about data, software, and methods with an emphasis on retail and personalization of services and products. Big data also has impacted engineering and manufacturing and has resulted in better and more efficient manufacturing operations, improved quality, and more personalized products. A less apparent effect is that big data have changed problem solving: the problems we choose to solve, the strategy we seek, and the tools we employ. This paper illustrates this point by showing how the big data style of thinking enabled the development of a new quality assurance philosophy called process monitoring for quality (PMQ). PMQ is a blend of process monitoring and quality control (QC) that is founded on big data and big model (BDBM), which are catalysts for the next step in the evolution of the quality movement. Process monitoring (PM) for quality was used to evaluate the performance of the ultrasonically welded battery tabs in the new Chevrolet Volt, an extended range electric vehicle.

A comprehensive review of big data analytics throughout product lifecycle to support sustainable smart manufacturing: A framework, challenges and future research directions

“…BDA is the process of examining large and varied data sets to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, market trends, customer preferences and other useful information that can help organizations make more-informed business decisions (Abell et al, 2017;TechTarget, 2012), to improve sustainability and to drive the society towards the circular economy (Soroka et al, 2017). Applications of BDA have attracted attention from industry and academy due to the capability to provide valuable patterns and knowledge to increase BI, explore potential markets and improve operational efficiency (Lamba and Singh, 2017;Zhong et al, 2016).…”

On the improvement of positioning accuracy in WiFi‐based wireless network using correntropy‐based kernel learning algorithms

“…However, with the increase in the complex demand for data mining applications, there remain many technical challenges that need to be addressed to fully realize the potential benefits of big data . Then, the data‐driven decision‐making intelligent paradigms have witnessed a growing interest in the analysis of large and diverse volumes of data, given the success of those techniques in some aspects of society, including manufacturing, social media, and many others . Specifically, it is expected that the data‐driven intelligence techniques can be also employed successfully to hold the data related to current communication networks and systems…”

Process-Monitoring-for- Quality — A Model Selection Criterion for Shallow Neural Networks

“…Process Monitoring for Quality (PMQ) is a big data-driven quality philosophy aimed at defect detection through binary classification (Abell et al, 2017). It is founded on Big Models (BM), a modeling paradigm based on optimization, machine learning and statistics, Fig.…”
